Thought it would be worthwhile to put together a list of all the players heading over to the UK this summer. Please post any more players who you are aware of heading to the UK/Europe.
I expect a number of players to pull out if they are selected for the "A" side etc. Interesting to note that Campbell, Tiripano, Evans, Munyonga and Muramani who all had UK contracts lined up have made themselves unavailable.
Roy Kaia - Svanholm Cricket Club (Denmark)
Tendai Chisoro - Kelso CC (Scotland)
Brian Chari - (Denmark)
Ainsley Ndlovu - Cannock CC (Birmingham)
Charles Kunje - Clipstone & Bilsthorpe CC (Nottingham)
Tinashe Chimbambo - Compton & Chandlers Ford CC (Hampshire)

That was actually Curran's first hundred in 78 matches.
22 50's though. That's a big monkey off his back.
Bizarre how he hasn't had one before.

I'm following the post match euphoria of this English series win. English fans and pundits always so quick to blow their team's trumpet. Humility is not high on their list. We've seen quite a few false dawns before. Great wins and a wonderful series, but not sure you can play like that against every team and most definitely not on every pitch. That was like a well matched boxing match where the styles made for a great fight.
India test starts Friday, 4 day break. We take a year's rest between ours. People actually die of old age in-between.

I told you guys that India will be a different challenge altogether. In hindsight it has to be said that NZL's bowling couldn't cope up with the attacking style and it is shocking to see how miserably they failed and leaked runs at a very high RR because they've got experienced and quality bowlers and they are not alien to English conditions as conditions inNZL are similar.
India has the best test bowling attack in the world right now, RSA series and last year's WTC final was mainly due to batting failures.

Yeah India is crazy good from number 5 down. They just need to fix up their batting. Ironic that just when they get their bowling together, the top and middle order falls apart

Alex Lees is seriously showing some balls up front.
Zack Crawley is world class when he gets going. He just needs to convert now

world class? Really? Even his career average at county level is only 30.
25 tests and averaging 26. That’s terrible. Bad even for Zimbabwean standards!

4 reasonable innings in 7. Not a bad start at all.
I see Muyeye has received some coverage on the Vitality Blast platform for some good hitting in one innings, but didn't do that well aside from that, surprisingly.
County is desperate for good black players to improve their image. There's Bell-Drunmond (fine player) Rawlins and Muyeye, I can't think of any others. All 3 are decent.
I enjoy watching Bell Drummond, he's a serious batsman.

Watching Surrey tonight? I'm at the Oval, expecting fireworks from Jacks and Curran.
Reckon Tom Curran will ever get an England gig again? I doubt it

Ya should be good. Rooting for Yorkshite, Surrey have the war chest to win everything and it's annoying.
T Curran should never have been near an England shirt imo.
Hes a good player, but there's better out there.
Surrey's influence on England selections is bullshit as well.

Lyth and Kohler-Cadmore are great players. How Kohler-Cadmore is not in the Lions side is a bloody travesty. He's a serious batsman. Holding thumbs that he fires tonite.

I'm willing to bet Curran won't do well. Been a long time out of the game.

Ya was wondering what u were talking about 😂
Sam has come of age with the bat. Stratospheric talent in T20 and I guess it will spill into 50 over. I predict a day not too far in the future where he won't even bowl.

I'm trying to watch this game through an Indian stream that keeps getting interrupted by a strident c%£#£% on a loop ordering and begging u to bet 50 rupees and then being told by someone else that betting is dangerous.
I'd prefer phone calls from Nigerian princes than listen to these c£%*#*&%;%s !!!!! WTF is wrong with them??
